Adding an instance to a product (Defense Mapping)

There are several properties associated with an instance. They are divided into two sections: General and Instance. The General section contains properties such as the name, alias, description, and current status of the instance. The Instance section contains properties such as the instance type and rotation angle for the data frame.

When you add an instance, only the General properties are required. You can optionally include an instance type and rotation angle, and you can associate a database with the instance.

手順:

1. Start ArcMap.
2. If necessary, open the Product Library window by clicking Customize → Production → Product Library on the main menu.

   A tree view of the product library appears.
3. If necessary, expand Product Library and Products.
4. Navigate to and right-click the product for which you want to add an instance and click New Instance.

   The New Instance dialog box appears.
5. Click the cell next to Name.

   The name is limited to 230 characters. Special characters are not valid entries.
